From a scanned paper to a graded report — automatically.
Grading a whole class isn't one step, and Skora AI doesn't treat it like one. It reads your question paper, reads every student's handwriting, marks each answer, and turns the results into feedback and a study plan — accurately, and fast enough to publish the same day.
Five steps from a scanned sheet to a published report.
Every paper moves through the same five stages — confident grades flow straight through, anything uncertain pauses for a teacher.
Scan
Bring in answer sheets via scanner, copier, or phone camera — one or several thousand at a time.
OCR
Handwriting, equations, diagrams and MCQ bubbles are extracted and lined up against the right question.
AI grade
Each answer is judged against the key with math equivalence, choice rules, and partial credit applied consistently.
Teacher review
Confident grades auto-approve; anomalies, low-confidence OCR, and outliers surface for one-tap teacher override.
Publish
Per-student reports go live in parent and student apps — marks, weak areas, and recommended chapters in one place.
Everything between a scanned paper and a graded report.
Reads the question paper
Upload your question paper and Skora AI turns it into a structured set of questions, marks, and answer keys — automatically.
Grades every answer sheet
Each student's answers are marked question by question against the paper, scored consistently across the whole class.
Reads handwriting at scale
Scanned answer sheets are read — handwriting included — and each one is matched to the right student.
Links to your syllabus
Feedback is tied back to your own textbooks, so every weak area points to the exact chapter to revise.
Connects teaching content
Graded results link to relevant lesson material, so follow-up teaching is one click away.
Hand it your paper. It does the setup.
You upload the question paper — and the answer key, if you have one. Skora AI reads the whole thing: every section, question, sub-question, marks split, and the correct answers. What used to be an hour of manual setup happens in under a minute.
- Reads any layout — sections, internal choices, sub-questions, and marks per question
- Builds the answer key from your key sheet — or works it out from your own textbooks when you don't have one
- Marks where each answer came from, so teachers know what's worth a second look
- Flags anything it's unsure about for a quick check before grading begins
- Re-uploading the same paper is instant — it's only ever set up once
Every answer marked, every mark explained.
Each student's sheet is read and graded question by question against the paper. Skora AI doesn't just hand back a number — it shows which points the student earned, which they missed, and links straight to the answer in their original paper.
- Fair and consistent — every answer marked against the key, the same way across the whole class
- Marks rounded to the nearest half and capped at each question's maximum
- Choice rules applied automatically — "attempt any 4 of 5", internal-OR, section choices
- Teachers click a mark and jump straight to that answer in the original paper
- Weak areas become specific revision suggestions tied to your syllabus
- Clean papers auto-approve; anything unusual is flagged for teacher review
